Our pledge is kept. Here, yet no chargers wheel. No foreign slaves on ropes or scaffolds reel, No Gallic amazons, half-naked, climb From pit to gallery,—the low sublime ! In SHAKSPEA RE'S halls, shall dogs and hears engage? Where brutes are actors, he a booth the stage! And we shall triumph yet. The cloud has hung Darkly above—but day shall spring—has sprung— The tempest has but swept, not shook the shrine No lamp that genius lit has ceased to shine ! Still lives its sanctity. Around the spot Hover high spirits—shapes of burning thought,— . Viewless—but call them, on the dazzled eye Descends their pomp of immortality : Here, at your voice, ROWE, °TWAY, SOUTHERN come, Flashing like meteors through the age's gloom. Perpetual here—king of th'immortal band, Sits SHAKSPEA RE crown'd He lifts the golden wand, And all obey ;—the visions of the past Rise as they lived,—soft, splendid, regal, vast. Then Arkl harps along the enchanted wave, Then the Wierd Sisters thunder in their cave, — The spell is wound. Then shows his mightier art, The Moor's lust soul ; the hell of Richard's he4rt, And stamps, in fiery warning to all time, The deep damnation of a tyrant's entity. To-night we take our lesson liont the tomb: 'Tis thy sad cenotaph, colossal Rome ! How is thy helmet cleft, thy banner low ! Ashes and dust are all thy glory now! While o'er thy wreck, a host of monks and slares, Totter to " seek dishonourable graces." The story'is of Bmtrrus, in that name Towered to the sun her eagle's wing of flame! ‘Vhen sank her liberty, that name of power, Poured hallowed splendors sound its dying hour. The lesson lived for man—that heavenward blaze Fixed on the pile the world's eternal gaze. Unrivalled England ! to such memories thou 'Phis hour lost owe the laurel on thy brow; Those, fixed, when earth was like a grave, thy tread Prophet and warrior! 'twixt the quick and dead, — Those bade thee war for man,—those won the name That crowns thee—famed above all Roman fame.

THE BOXING RING.—The amateurs of boxing mustered strong at Burns's, in Windmill-street, yesterday evening,when the whole of the stakes, 100 guineas a-side, was made good or the fight between Martin, the baker, and Scroggins,which will take place in a 24-feet ring, more than twenty miles f rom London, on Tuesday next. Martin was backed freely at 6 to .I.—Randall and Tar ner shift their trainingcantonments this day towards the fighting ground ; the former from Hamp stead, and the latter from Brentwood, in Essex. They are both well ; Randall. as before observed, has a sore gland of the neck, arising from a recent cold, hut it is not consider ed of any consequence. The following is the real betting up to last night :—From sto 4 to I I to Bon Raadall, who has rather got up in the market ; and 2 tot Randall and Martin both win. The fight is fixed 30 miles from London. TIIE CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 4. We had a large supply Corn this morning, being the accumulation of arrivals since Monday. Wheat was dull sale, and Is. per quartei cheaper. The supply of Barley being very great from the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, has caused a decline in the price of that grail! of 48. per quarter, and a large quant i ty remained unsold at the close of the market.- I)ats art. Is. per quarter lower, and sales were heavy at that decline. In Beaus and Pease there Is no alteration. SIMITHFIELb. DEC. 4. Our Market this morning was but thinly supplied with prime Cattle, and Ret t was dearer than on Monday, and the trade brisk at th,t advance; the show of Sheep was smal,l and many ..archasers appearing, Mutton was also dearer than last weep ; i'orh remains nominal as per last quotation; Veal was d e arer.

NEWBURY, GREEN, and Co., St. John-street, Smithfield. It commenced in their valuable Mustard Manufac tot y. Several engines were in a short time on the spot ; ;and a number of them being stationed in the yard within, enabled '_he firemen to play with out the least obstruction ; by which means the threatened destruction was confined to the already mentkoned premises, the wh-le of which, we are sorry to state, are nearly ties • roved. The loss on this occasion is to a very cohsiderable amount We have not been able to ascertain how it origi• TH h. hi c.vi fits. WRY -LA Trag . eity; entitten MM , US, tit The NU of Turquih, foantied.opon the well-kn• wit story of an evert' which effected the deliverance of Rothe froin the despotism of an odimis was represen't'ed list night at this Tt.'eatte.- - The !olio using account of the Plot haS been sent co us in prito; and We shall adopt it at the ofliciaireliott of the TiceBi The new Tragedy of Brutus is built upon the most imprei sire features in the History of the first of that name, who flourished in the time of Tat quit. the Praul, the earlier age of Roman History, between fourteen aunt fifteen, hundred years ago. The see ,e is sometimes at tile Camp before Ardea, sometimes in Col latia, and sometimes in Itome.The itlay commences-with the assumed idiotism or Liking iunitis,who, on the murder of his father anti his elder b'ro'ther by TArqtiin, counterfeits the fool, and is received into the family of the King, to make mirth for the young orinees.=-Tullia,the Queen, wit., is raised into •. hail efunielice" byhiitorY, as havingil riven her chariot over her dead father's batik', is left by Tarquin the Proud (then absent with his army before Ardea),.Regent of Rome: Alarmed by dreams and p*artents, Tullia sends for Lucius Junius from the camp, that a watchful 'eye may be kept over him ; but when he arrives, She ts disarmed of her terrors by the grotesque answers of Lucius Junius, and orders that he shall be called Brutus, from the Yeietiblaace 'which the want of l'eason gives him to a Brute. The Ara act closes with a actor between the Princess Tarquinia and Titus, the son of Brutus, in which it appears that Titus has gained great favourk the court, and has formed art atrathment for Tarquinia which is :favourably returned. He vows that, under any circumstances, and even should his father awaken to reason, and comma nd him to 'resign her, he would remain unchanged.-4n the Second act, the -young Minces and Col latinus are discovered in the tent of Sextas. They comversi on their opinions of the female character, and being thence led into the famous wager concerning their wives, they post away and find Lucretia surrounded by sertatits., employed in household duties at Collatia. Sextus is inflamed by her beauty. He determines to return privately at the first opportunity.—:- He does so; and in a scene of tempest and lightning, where Brutus is discovered, Sextus enters muffled, having accom plished his infamy, and laughingly makes it known to Brutus, who then throws off the mask, bursts forth in his real cha racter, and rushes to Collatia, where he arrives just after Laeretia's death, which he swears to avenge. The body is borne to the Forum. Brutus addresses the people. They revolt. The palace is stormed, and its walls shattered.— Brutus condemns Tullis to betaken to Rhea's Temple, where the body of her murdered father is deposited. She is horror struck at the idea, and swears, if dragged thither, to starve herself to death. She appears in the temple, mad. She fancies she hears groans from the portal of the tomb, which she forces open, and there discovering the monumental figure of Servius Willis, recoils, fancying in her frenzy that it is his spectre, and dies.—ln the meantime, Tarquinia reminds Titus of his pledge. Titus is induced tojoin a party for the liberation of Tarquinia, and attempts to escape with her to the camp at Ardea. They are detected, intercepted, Titus is condemned by his Father as a traitor, and the play terminates with the death of Titus. This Tiagedy has strong claims to public fa vour. As one striking proof, it may be ob served, that the interest of the story Occupied the mind too much to admit of a critical notice of the language. It was, however, obviously possessed of many poetical graces. 'the character of Lu cius Junius Brutus, as transmitted by history, is marked by a severity which perhaps is only to be found in the historic page ; for however do mestic feelings might have given way to a sense of patriotism, yet the ties of na ture must always have had a strong in fluence upon the human character, whether moulded by the manners of Sparta or of Rome. Therefore, in giving more of the parental charac ter to the elder Brutus in this Play, the Author has approached nearer to Nature as he has de parted from Hi•tory ; but we really think that, par ticularly in the last scene, he has rather too lunch deviated from the general idea of Roman firmness, and has rendered his Hero much too tender to be consistent with the character as transmitted by all who have recorded it. It may be observed, that instead of that unsuspicious folly or insanity which Brutus assumed, he appears in the tragedy arch, it not waggish, and might reasonably have excited alarm, but particularly in Dana, who had been prophetically warned of the ruin of her family by the efforts of a fool.—The introduction of Tulliu and the loves of Titus and Tarquinia is judicious, as it relieves the mono tony that would otherwise have prevailed. The same may be said of the banquet scene, in which the memorable wager takes place. It is highly improbable that Sextus, after his horrible treat ment of Lucretia, and which it was his business to conceal from every body, should have thought proper to reveal it to a fool, who might be sup posed to blab it every where. But the general interest of the play overpowers such objections. It is much too long, and will particularly admit of retrenchment in the last scene, where the parental agonies of Brutus differ so much from his historical character. The Tragedy was very well sustained altogether- KEAN, of course, was the prominent figure. The part is well cal ciliated to skew his peculiar ( - panties, and he ex cited much applause. Mrs. GLOVER, an excellent comic Actress, is not so well qualified for tragedy, but she is always respectable, and she sustained the part of Tullis with dignity and feeling. H.KasaaLa gave respectable support to Sextus, and FISHER displayed much feeling in Titus. BENGOUGH was deservedly applauded in Canutintts. indeed, the whole of the Play was well supported. The Theatre has discharged its duty in bringing for ward the Play with great splendour of scenery, processions, &c. &c. The destruction of the Palace was grand and terrific.—The Prologue, which, as our Readers will perceive, is above the ordinary standard, was well de livered by H. KEAIttLE, and .the Epilogue, which we shall give to-morrow, spoken with spirited gaiety by Mrs. GLOVER. The Theatre was filled with visitors ; and the Play was received with great applause. It was announced by KEAN for repel i lion this evening, with hearty and universal con sent. CovpNT-GARDEN.—After the excellent Comedy of The Jealous Wife, a new Fairy Tale, entitled Rose d'Aitiour, or Little Red Riding Hood, was brought forward. It is very well calculated for the holiday folks, and therefore may be thought to have been brought forth too early in the season. A Miss 13EaumoNT, a very pleasing and interesting young Lady, made her first appearance in the principal character. Her voice and talents ale very recommendatory, and she was deservedly applauded. Tile piece altogether was well re ceived. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—This handsome Theatre re-opened last night. with a new comic-historical burletta, in three Acts, under the title of Roches ter. 'I he piece is founded on a well-known ex travagance of that celebrated Lord, and was ex cellently dramatized by Mr. MoricalEFF, talents for such con►position are of no middli►tg stanip.

The scenery *as particularly splendid. The action being laid in the East, several opportunities were afforded for rich spectacle, and they were made use of to great atlvantage. The Tiew of a bridge and 'cataract •calltd forth general admiration, as did also the represeDlatlion of a triumphal arch did a plllisr of victory. The procession of Hama into the city was SpleiTtlid in a high degrees but the most imposing appearantd Aras created by the view of the , mine and the burning ruins. The story cif the piece is interesting and well :deve loped., Considering the immense variety of inci dents which it embraced. The characters were excellently sustained. The well known panto mime of La Peronse followed, and the scenery here also would not be unworthy of any Theatre. Every teat in tl l e e,lifice was occupied. THE EARL OF COVENTRY. This Nobleman, with that loyalty which has always distinguished his character, has laudably recommended a Meeting in the Connty of lifor cester, for the purpose stated in the following Letter : " Croome, Dec. 1, ISIS.

Time great hell at St. Mary's was tolled on Tuesday evenin4„ and again early in the morning of Wednesday, and continued tolling throughout the whole of the day. At the congregation rsterday, the Senate voted a dutiful Address of Condolence to his Royal High ness the Prince- Regent, on the death of her late Majesty the Queen ; and the Address is to be presented to the Prince Regent this clay, by the Vice-Chancellor, in his Royal Highness's closet.

The sermons at St. Mary's on the Sunday after noons in the present month, will he preached by the Rev. Mr. Holmes, of Queen'' , College. We have the pleasure to eougrat‘date the coon try on the safe return of every i:ulividual of the British Contingent of the late Army of Occupa tion in France ; sod we should be deficient in duty if we soffered the opportunity to pass, with out paying a well-merited compliment to the Offi cers of His Majesty's Nary, to whom were en trusted the arrangements for emb,rking the troops and horses at Caddis. To the unwearied zeal and unremitting attentimr of these .qfficers we owe it, that 29,700 men, 2,900 e omen, 2,800 children, and 7.700 horses, were shipped on board the transports in CAlais hariorir, in 28 days, wiltout an accident, being two lays within the time pre scribed by Governmnr. Anxious to put the finishing stroke to a service so well performed, Lieutenant CHARLES CAURCH, the Second in Command, ieft Calais the other day in a small four-oared boat, lot the purpose of proceeding to Dover, to hasten the return of the last division of transports ; the gallant Officer had scarcely got mid-channel when the wind shifted, and blowing strong and the flood tide making, himself and his venturous companions were placed in imminent jeopardy, from which, after huffetting about for nearly 12 hours, they were rescued by a Deal boat, who, observing their danger, hastened to .their relief, and towed thttm safely into the Downs, where they landed about midnight, awl taking post-chaise, Mr. Cuuccx proceeded int- Anediately to Dover, to effect the object of his mission. Mr. HoasLEY's Ctitt.D.—We have the satisfac tion to announce, that Mrs. Horsley has received, by a Homburg!) Mail, letters from Mr. Horsley of the 25th ult., in full confirmation of the intel ligence received a few days ago, via Holland, of the safety of the child, and the apprehension of the Villain who stole it, which took place on the 23d ult. at Braka, near Bremen. The clothes of the child were changed ; but it was in perfect health, and was safely lodged in the house of the British Consul, until due authority could be re ceived from-the Government of the country where Broka is situated, for delivering hunt to his fa ther. The perpetrator of this atrocious act could not he surrendered for the purpose of removal, to take his trial in this country, until an application Was received' row our Goverrrutt•nt.
